Prime Minister Bei's eyes deepened slightly when he heard the unbridled words from Long Qian Xing. As he had expected, this young master was something. To be able to become a commander at such young and tender age, it showed that the youth was not an ordinary person.
However, the aura that Long Qian Xing exuded was more like that of a wild wolf.
"I see. It must be the Will of the Heaven." Prime Minister Bei laughed faintly. "I heard that there are some problems around this area, would you like to check with me, Young Commander Long?"
"I still have to make the report, so please excuse me, Prime Minister Bei." Long Qian Xing was still as guarded as before when he looked at Prime Minister Bei. He didn't dare to relax in the slightest bit.
This man... was very cunning.
"Is that so?" Prime Minister Bei shook his head in disappointment. He turned to look at Old Master Nan. "How about you, Great General Nan?"
Old Master Nan laughed. "This old bone is already tired and still have to give report too. Please pardon this old bone for this one's decision."
"It must be because of my old age that I start to forget you also need to give report. Please pay attention to your health, Great General Nan. There are a lot of people who are waiting for your return." Prime Minister Bei smiled.
Old Master Nan squinted his eyes. "It's only natural. Thank you very much for your concern, Prime Minister Bei."
Despite being inside the carriage, the four children could definitely feel the harsh weather outside. They knew that these three were only engaging in a battle of words, but it was a bit hard to follow up with their conversation.
Every sentences that was exchanged carried deep and hidden knife.
Feng Ao Si already broke in the cold sweat. He couldn't understand but he felt that if he was the one standing outside, he would have long lost the battle. It was precisely because he couldn't understand.
The three of them bid their farewell and Old Master Nan immediately instructed Hou Liang. "Hou Liang, send the children back to the residence first."
"I understand, Mother." Feng Ao Kuai's face was a bit grim. If Prime Minister Bei truly targeted their grandfather, he would have to leave the Capital City in fear of getting involved. After all, that man would definitely not allow any loose end to roam around the area.
Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head. "Is it really that bad? I only remember Father mentioned that Prime Minister Bei is a bit dangerous."
"He's not just a bit dangerous." Nan Si Qiao smiled bitterly. When she saw Prime Minister Bei, she had broken out in cold sweat. She was worried that her father would be involved in something nasty and ended up losing his life.
Even if there was nothing that happened yet, she was still feeling terribly worried.
"Why?" Nan Luo was confused.
He was the only one who was the most clueless regarding the current situation in the court. In fact, Old Master Nan had once told him briefly but never too detailed because it was a bit too much for a little kid like him.
Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo. "Luo, the person who hold the most power in Fei Yang Kingdom is Prime Minister Bei."
"Huh? Isn't it supposed to be the Emperor?" Nan Luo was stunned.
The Emperor was the person chosen by the Heaven. How could he be any lower than someone else?
Feng Ao Kuai knew that Nan Hua was not the type to explain things, so he chose to step up. "That's because His Majesty is still too young to lead the kingdom. The highest power is temporarily held by his mother, the Empress Dowager. But since women couldn't possibly control the court, the one who had the most say is Prime Minister Bei."
"Why him? Also, aren't there two prime minister?"
Prime Minister of the Right and Prime Minister of the Left. It was the norm in the court to have two prime minister.
At this time, Feng Ao Kuai really wanted to smack his younger cousin's head. "That's because Prime Minister Bei has become a prime minister for many years now.. He's also the most trusted Prime Minister during Emperor Xuan's reign. All this years, how much power do you think he had pulled to his side?"
